Be it known that l, JEAN Dnnrnwn Unmxr, resident of 37A St. Augustinstreet, in the city and district of Elontz'enl, in the Province ofQuchcn, in the ll ominion oi (:mada, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, have inventcd certain'neyi' and useful improvements in Peat-GasPlants; and I do hcrchy declare that-tho following is a full, clear, andcxiwtidescription of the same.

Tho invention relates to improvements in punt gas plants, as dcscrihcd mthe present specification and illustrated in the acwm panying drawingsthat form part (if H16 same. v

The invention consists essentially in. mixin r air with the gas duringthe "period of rating the peat and-gathering byproducts from the, gun inits passage to the gasometez" by means of the ,various devices employedand iundrlition augmenting the heat and light properties of the gas.

The objects of tilt-invention are to pro duce a; gas from peat at n'verylow cost, to providda gas having good heating and ilutiiize, peat, ofwhich there are. such great quantities, in the most desirable andeconomical Jorm.

in the drawings, Figure 1 is a diagrammaticview showing the. arrangementof the several parts of the plant. Fig. 2 is a sec tienal detnil'of therotort,

Like numerals of reference indicate core ending parts in each'figure.

geferring to the drawings, 1 is thc retort ere shown as rotatable and ashavin the as egress pipe Qleatling from a, suitable wing in the headofsaid retort through e gland 3, said cgrcss pipe meeting the'tationarvpipc 4; in said gland, the latter )ipe 4 having anopcning 5thereinto.

The stationary 'pipc 4 leads preferably in curvcd direction toth casing8, the said i using 8 bcing surroumlcd by the water uckct 9 and filledwith tar. 10 is the outlet opening from the casing 8. 1 l is the owrfiowopening from said casing.

In the operation of this plant, the peat, previously crushed and duringcrushin satunited with petroleum, is laced in he retort and baked to acoke.' l uring this bak- Y lant, said ing process, the'nir is turned onfrom the' reservoir 7 or any suitable air supply and passes into theretort throu h the pipe 6, thus becoming-heated, whill: the peat isbeing baked, and mixing with the as produced during the coking rocess.'l his-operation is continuous an the gas as produced is constantlyflowing out of the in and into the stationary pipe 4 w iencc it flowsthrough the tar or'carbureting chamber contained in the casing .8, thegases passing throu pipe and throu the condensing lengths of the 'pipeto tie asomcter, in passa' e dropping the by-pro ucts into thcby-pro ucttanks 21 and 22.

ceptncle below the liquid ipe 12 having the "qo forming the and from I hsaid tar into the main The opr'z'ttion is continuous while the cokingprocess is in progress and as the said retort is arranger] tolie-charged without any undue loss of time, the plant may be said to hekept in constant operation during the filling of tho gasomcter or gasometcrs the case may be.

What I claim as my invention is;

1. In pent gas plants, thc combination with a retort having a suituhlcoutlet, of it casing containing a suitablc carburcting chamber having aninlet and outlets, on air pipe leading from n suitublc air supply intosaid rctori, a pipe lcadin Y from szmlrctort outlet to the inlet of saiicasing, a main gas pipe loading from an outlet of said casing, anoverflow pi pc lcuding from tho other outlet of said casing, byproductpipes tapping said main gas pipe, and a gasomctcr;

2. ln pent gas plants, the comh natlon with a retort having a suitableoutlet, of a casing.

containing :1 suitable carburetingchamher having :in' inlct and outlets,a water Jacket surrounding said cas1ng,a pipe loading from the remitoutlet to said casing inlet-,5 a main gals pipe having condensing curvedlengths and Eeading from a casing outlet-{an overflow pipe, from theother casing outlet, by product pipes tapping said mam gas pipe and agasomctcr.

In a device of the class described, in combination, it retort having anoutlet and a pipe loading frornsaid outlet, a stationary pipc lemiinfrom the aforesaid pipe and suitably pacxed an air pipeleading throughthe latter pipe mto thccasing an air; reservoir, a tar chamber, a Waterjacket around tat chamber, said stationayy pipe 1ead-- 'ing into sandtar chamber, a main gas pipe Emailing from said tar chamber and havingby prlociuct tanks,

cohc'iensing lengths, by-prochict tanks, pipes leading from said maingaspipe into said a gasometer, .a'n overflow pipe leading from said tarchamber having a ti up portion intermediate of its length and areceptacle into which said overflow pipe extends.
